A financial technology company founded by two former classmates at Waterloo Engineering has secured US $6 million in backing to help launch a platform to fight fraud by enabling secure, real-time collaboration among merchants, banks and service providers.

Tuhk Inc. was founded in 2025 by Andre Edelbrock and Trevor Clarke (both BASc ’98, systems design engineering) to turn fragmented data into a cohesive intelligence network to neutralize fraud, maximize transaction approvals, reduce chargebacks and streamline dispute resolution.

Waterloo Engineering researchers have upped the evolving game of automated hockey analysis with new advances to follow the puck and track player movement with more accuracy than ever before.

In two recent studies, the researchers developed artificial intelligence (AI) software to overcome challenges posed by motion blurring and obstructed views in broadcast video of the fast-paced sport.

Technology developed at Waterloo Engineering uses radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to unobtrusively monitor people in hospitals and long-term care facilities for early signs of health problems based on how fast they walk.

“Walking speed is often called a functional vital sign because even subtle declines can be an early warning of health problems,” said Dr. Hajar Abedi, a former postdoctoral researcher in electrical and computer engineering at Waterloo.

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by Waterloo Engineering researchers could improve the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases by enhancing the clarity and detail of medical images doctors rely on.

The AI model reverses quality loss and reconstructs reliable images of the cornea, the transparent tissue in the front of the eye, after researchers taught it the physics behind the imaging process.
